DO YOU experience cramping, bloating and urgent trips to the bathroom after you've consumed ice cream, cheese or other dairy products? If so, you may be one of the estimated ;; million American adults who have some degree of lactose intolerance, the reduced ability to digest lactose, a sugar found in dairy products.
Lactose intolerance can be diagnosed with a hydrogen breath test, but Reinagel says it's fairly easy to determine if you're sensitive to lactose. "I think it's probably worth doing some experimentation and eliminating dairy for three or four days to see if there's a difference," she says.
a doctor to research another explanation.
Dairy products are often our primary source of calcium, says Reinagel. "Cheese is the number-one source of calcium," she says. "If you're eliminating dairy all of a sudden, you're probably going to be dramatically reducing your calcium intake.
Lactose intolerance can lead to extreme discomfort, but it's not life threatening, as an allergy could be. People with a dairy allergy react to proteins in the milk, not sugars. When the proteins enter the body of someone with a dairy allergy, the immune system mounts an allergic response that may be mild or severe to the point of anaphylactic shock. People with a dairy allergy must completely avoid dairy.
AN ESTIMATED 2 to 10 percent of American women between the ages of 25 and 40 are affected by endometriosis, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. That estimate is so wide because symptoms can vary in severity. Many women are first diagnosed when being examined for infertility.
In women with endometriosis, the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows in other parts of the body, such as on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bowels or bladder.
Normal tissue in the uterus—called the endometrium—sheds during each menstrual cycle. In endometriosis, the displaced endometrial tissue continues to act as it normally would: It thickens, breaks down and bleeds with each menstrual cycle, but this displaced tissue has no way to exit the body.
• Women who are giving birth for the first time after age 30.
• Women with an abnormal uterus.
• Pain and cramping before and during periods, often felt in the abdomen and lower back.
• Painful urination and/or bowel movements during periods.
Some women with severe endometriosis may experience no pain, while others with a milder form of the disease may have severe pain or other symptoms.
Endometriosis is best diagnosed by laparoscopy—a minor surgical technique in which a thin tube attached to a camera is inserted through a small incision in the abdomen—and biopsy of any suspicious-looking tissue.
Treatment varies, depending on symptoms, extent of the disease, medical history and the desire for pregnancy.

Doctor Who – Ranking the Multi-Doctor Stories
On rare occasions in Doctor Who, two or more incarnations of the Doctor can actually meet on-screen and interact with each other, regardless of how many paradoxes such an event should cause. Episode to feature this phenomenon are known as multi-Doctor stories, and they are usually used to commemorate a milestone in the show's history (though not always). As many of the Doctors incarnations differ drastically in terms of personality, often when two or more different Doctors meet they do not get along – and certain Doctors are actually known to have particular distaste for specific incarnations – which often makes multi-Doctor stories an interesting means of exploring the Doctor's psyche. This ranking of multi-Doctor stories will feature televised stories only, although there are enough multi-Doctor audio stories to fill a separate list. So, without further ado:
6 – The Two Doctors
Doctors featured: Second and Sixth
This episode is certainly the 'odd-one-out' of the Classic Who multi-Doctor stories in that it was not intended to be a 'special', and it did not commemorate a milestone or event as such – in reality, The Two Doctors was a desperate attempt by the production team to inject some excitement into the Doctor Who fanbase after lukewarm reactions to prior episodes. The return of fan-favourite Patrick Troughton as the Second Doctor could have been brilliant – but The Two Doctors falls flat for several reasons. For a start, it is far too long, and the episodes spends too long building up to the meeting of the Sixth and Second Doctors to the point that the payoff is less than satisfactory. The Second Doctor actually has very little presence in this story, and the Sontarans had long since lost their credibility as villains by this point in Classic Who's run. The one saving grace of this episode is that, despite everything, it is fun having the Second Doctor and Jamie back and their interactions with the Sixth Doctor are good fun.
5 – Twice Upon a Time
Doctors featured: First and Twelfth
Steven Moffat's era ended with an episode that was intended to be a dedication to Classic Who and its fans – but Twice Upon a Time actually ended up rubbing a lot of fans the wrong way with its distinctly odd characterisation of the First Doctor that made him out to be a sexist bigot. Despite the fact that Doctor Who began in the 1960s, and the First Doctor did occasionally portray 1960s values, his representation in Twice Upon a Time is radically overblown and comes across as a caricature at times. Still, overlooking this issue, Twice Upon a Time is an enjoyable episode and serves as a great sendoff for both Moffat and the Twelfth Doctor. Arguably the most interesting thing about this multi-Doctor story in particular is it features two versions of the Doctor in mid-regeneration, with both debating whether or not to go through with the change and having a distinct impact on each other's decisions, a concept that had not been explored until this point.
4 – Time Crash
Doctors featured: Fifth and Tenth
Though this Children In Need special is short, it features all the best ingredients for a good multi-Doctor story – there's banter between the Doctors, comedy of misunderstanding, and the inevitable development of a working friendship between two very different (yet also distinctly similar) incarnations. As the first Classic Who-New Who crossover, Time Crash features quite a few continuity references for its short run-time (hearing the Tenth Doctor say 'Tegan' will always be a bit strange) but also celebrates the differences between New and Old Who with both Doctors aiming jibes at the other. With a whimsical plot with a surprisingly emotional ending, Time Crash is always a joy.
3 – The Three Doctors
Doctors featured: First, Second and Third
The first multi-Doctor story laid much of the groundwork for others to come, and since the idea had never featured before on the show, The Three Doctors spends more time exploring the actual situation at hand rather than simply using it as a vehicle for the plot or for fanservice. Aside from the main plot, which features the debut of Omega, The Three Doctors has a lot of screentime dedicated to the Second and Third Doctors simply interacting – at first they dislike each other, but eventually they learn to accept their differences and work together. Ultimately the only real drawback to this episode is the unfortunate circumstances surrounding William Hartnell's final appearance as the First Doctor – due to his ailing health, Hartnell was unable to feature as prominently in the episode as either Troughton or Pertwee, and his role is limited to popping up from time to time on a television screen and reading his lines from an auto-que. Regardless, The Three Doctors pioneered the concept of the multi-Doctor story and, despite its limitations, it did the job quite well.
2 – The Day of the Doctor
Doctors featured: The War Incarnation, Tenth and Eleventh
The 50th Anniversary Special The Day of the Doctor is the first (and until this point, the only) televised multi-Doctor story to feature only NuWho Doctors, and is unique in that one of the incarnations that it features makes his only substantial on-screen appearance in this story – The War Doctor. This previously unknown incarnation, played by John Hurt, makes a great impression in this episode and actually fills the role of 'Classic Doctor' to bounce off the more energetic personalities of the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors. This episode makes good use of the multi-Doctor format to present the conflict taking place within the Doctor's psyche – his built up guilt and anger about the Time War is reflected in the modern incarnations' dislike for the War Doctor, and the Doctor's decision to end the Time War in a less destructive way redeems the War incarnation in the eyes of his successors and allows the Doctor to finally put the Time War behind him and move on. Overall, The Day of the Doctor is a fantastic multi-Doctor story with some great scenes between the three Doctors, but it doesn't quite beat…
1 – The Five Doctors
Doctors featured: First, Second, Third, Fourth (sort of) and Fifth
The 25th Anniversary special, The Five Doctors. This episode is a hardcore Doctor Who fan's dream come true, as it features the Fifth Doctor alongside his four predecessors, plus many returning companions including Sarah Jane Smith, K-9, the Brigadier and even Susan. Also featured are the Cybermen, a Dalek, and the Time Lords including the Master and Rassilon, and if that were not enough, the episode also divulges a generous helping of Time Lord lore. One of the genius things about this episode is that it doesn't seem like there is too much crammed in – the episode dedicates roughly equal time to each character's plot thread in a manner similar to Avengers: Infinity War, ensuring that fans of each specific Doctor will not be disappointed. All, that is, except for Fourth Doctor fans, who will be disappointed to discover that his role in this episode is minimal – this is due to the fact that Tom Baker refused to reprise his role for this episode, and all the footage of the Fourth Doctor that is used actually came from the unfinished episode Shada. The Five Doctors makes excellent use of its run-time to tell a compelling story and feature many classic multi-Doctor interactions, most notably the finale in which all the Doctors finally meet to fight Rassilon.
With several prior Doctor actors expressing their wish to return to the show, hopefully it will not be long before fans get another multi-Doctor story featuring the Thirteenth Doctor, particularly if recent favorites like Tennant, Smith or Capaldi decide to return. Not only that, but the 60th Anniversary is not far away, and who knows – with the recent announcement of Big Finish's The Legacy of Time, set to feature not only the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Doctors but also may characters crossing over from NuWho, there is a possibility for more Classic Who/New Who multi-Doctor crossovers in the future.

Ferdinand Omanyala, Malkia Strikers, and Shujaa Rugby team putting Kenya on the map for all the right reasons
We finally have something to come together for. Kenya has been a sporting powerhouse and people who have had the opportunity to represent us have flown the flag high and confidently. Below are 3 recent big wins for Kenya putting a smile on everyone's face. Such a great time to be a Kenyan!
Ferdinand Omanyala fastest man in Africa
A star is born, this is what can be used to describe the sensational Kenyan sprinter who has recently made headlines in the global sports scene. He has shown that Kenya can not only dominate in long races but also short races. Omanyala has stormed into history books after a stunning performance to clock 9.77 sec to set a new African 100m sprint record in the KipKeino Classic held at Kasarani Stadium, becoming the second-fastest man in the world.
The Kenyan is now ranked 8th in the all-time 100m list after the impressive performance in which he even finished ahead of Justin Gatlin. If you follow sprint races then you know what it means to defeat such a name in the race.
He is now a sprinting force in the world scene and he has not only put a milestone in his career but also lifted the Kenyan flag high in a race we barely had a name in 4 months ago.
Malkia Strikers shine in Rwanda
Kenya's national women's volleyball team has stormed into the 2021 African Nations Volleyball Championship after a comfortable win against Morocco in 3 straight sets.
The volleyball teams have been doing Kenya proud not only in the continental games but also on the global stage and we all ought to celebrate our ladies doing us proud out there.
Even though Malkia strikers went on to lose to Cameroon in a game that they put up a world-class final performance, they were unable to secure a title for the third time.
Shujaa rugby team
Over the year Kenya has risen through the ranks in rugby to become a dominant force in the world by becoming one of the 15 countries competing in the World Rugby Sevens Series. It is always a good moment when Kenyans see the Shujaa 7s winning games.
Yesterday, Shujaa took to the global stage again in the Vancouver 7s in Canada where it was pooled alongside Mexico, Spain, and South Africa- our bitter rivals down south. However, Kenya advanced to the next round against the USA who they defeated 19-14 to set up a semifinal against Ireland, cruising past them at 38-5.
Although they lost to South Africa in the final, the unforgettable moment is reaching the final itself and it is a cause for celebration not only to the players but to Kenyans for the achievement in the sport. Shujaa now sits second in the 2021 HSBC series standings.
Such a great time to be Kenyan!

Manchester United hosted West Ham United at Old Trafford yesterday, for the third round of the Carabao Cup, just few days after they played against each other in the Premier League at the London Stadium.
Both teams produced a thrilling match that was evident from the start, when Manuel Lanzini scored his first goal against the red devils just under 10 minutes of the game.

The match went on with both teams missing to hit the target, though West Ham were the closest to scoring. Man United sought to strengthen their squad by sending in Bruno Fernandes and Mason Greenwood, but West Ham held on to claim their revenge and knock-out Man United off the competition.
Elsewhere in London, Chelsea welcomed Aston Villa to the Stamford Bridge hoping to continue win their winning record so far. Both teams had their chances as Aston Villa had their shot cleared from the line by Reece James.
In the second half, Reece James then turned provider as his neat cross was guided into the back of the net by Timo Werner, to put Chelsea on the front foot.

Ten Minutes later, Cameron Archer's header was on point from a Matty Cash cross into the box, to put Aston Villa level with Chelsea.

None of the teams was able to break the deadlock, sending the game to a penalty kick-off. Misses from Ashley Young and Marvelous Nakamba disadvantaged Aston Villa, as Reece James scored the winning penalty, covering for Ben Chilwell's earlier off target shot. Chelsea went on to win 4-3, qualifying for the 4th round of the cup tie.

In North London, Arsenal proved too strong for AFC Wimbledon as they scored 3 goals to book themselves into the 4th round of the Carabao Cup. Alexandre Lacazette opened the scoring through a penalty kick in the 11th minute of the game.
Lacazette celebrates scoring his penalty
He then turned provider as Smith Rowe scored the second goal, in the 77th minute. Edward Nketiah then rounded off the goals moments later, with a wonderful back-heel from a Cedric Soares pass.

Edmund martyren eller kung Edmund av Östangeln, född omkring år 840, död 20 november 870 i Hoxne, Suffolk, var en kristen kung över Östangeln från 855 till sin död. Han vördas som martyr och helgon i Romersk-katolska kyrkan och Östortodoxa kyrkan, med minnesdag den 20 november.

Biografi
Det förekommer olika uppgifter om Edmunds ursprung. Enligt en uppfattning var han son till sin företrädare  Æthelweard, och enligt en annan, återgiven av Abbo av Fleury, var han son till en annars okänd kung Alcmund av hertigdömet Sachsen och född i Nürnberg. Vid femton års ålder kröntes han till kung över det lilla riket Östangeln i östra England, och om hans regentskap berättas att han var rättvis och oemottaglig för smicker. Han skall ha lärt sig Psaltaren utantill.

870 fördrev han danerna Hinguar (Ivar Benlös) och Hubba (Ubbi) från sitt land, vilka snart återkom och övertog styret av landet. Danerna var hedningar. Edmund tillfångatogs, kedjades, och fördes till Hinguar som ställde krav som var oförenliga med kristendomen och därför avslogs av den religiöse Edmund. Som vedergällning för Edmunds ohörsamhet lät Hinguar tortera Edmund till döds genom att skjuta pilar i honom. Tortyren ägde rum den 20 november 870 i Hoxne, Suffolk, medan Edmund ropade på Jesus, och slutligen höggs hans huvud av. Han begravdes först i Hoxne, men hans reliker fördes senare till Bury St Edmunds som blivit uppkallad efter honom.

Edmund var Englands skyddshelgon, tills Edward III av England ersatte honom med sankt Georg. Han är skyddshelgon för tortyroffer, vargar, East Anglia, och flera kungar i historien. Flera kyrkor och kloster är uppkallade efter honom, däribland Christopher Wrens St Edmund the King and Martyr i London.

Som kung efterträddes Edmund av Oswald och Æthelred II.

Book Review: Still Mad by Sandra M. Gilbert and Susan Gubar
October 29, 2021 Toni Tileva
My review for the Washington Independent Review of Books
Literary critics Sandra M. Gilbert and Susan Gubar, in this follow-up to their The Madwoman in the Attic, offer a comprehensive, sweeping engagement with voices from the tradition of second-wave feminism. Spanning the 1950s to the present, Still Mad contextualizes — historically and personally — the works of singers, poets, essayists, and prose writers while exploring the creativity that started on the page but moved far beyond it.
In their introduction, Gilbert and Gubar outline their intent to feature works which "they consider to be the ongoing second wave of feminism," as they believe "the debate in which women continue to engage swirls around the issue of how many 'waves' of feminism there have been." While that's a questionable assertion (perhaps this debate is taking place in the rarefied halls of academia), parsing the conversations surrounding the feminist zeitgeist decades ago is important to understanding the choices the authors make regarding which writers to include here.
Still Mad is striking in its breadth and scope but especially in that selection of authors. Structurally, Gilbert and Gubar write chronologically, which enables them to trace the fluidity of the featured authors' thinking. For example, the section on Audre Lorde follows her career from "lesbian biomythographer" to one who "dismantles the master's house."
Aside from a couple of questionable diversions, such as interludes on the (mis)education of Hillary Clinton and the Trump presidency, Gilbert and Gubar stay the course of weaving together passages from literary pieces, quotes from people in the writers' lives, and keen sociocultural analysis. And while there is clearly a bias toward poetry, Still Mad impresses with the creativity of its selections (for example, Nina Simone is featured) and the compelling way it makes connections between seemingly disparate currents in the feminist movement.
The book's deep dive into Adrienne Rich (including her tenuous-at-best link to Judaism) isn't quite as interesting as the section on Audre Lorde, in which the authors capture the tension between vulnerability and anger that feminists felt and continue to feel. Lorde's alienation as a "Black in a lesbian world and a lesbian in a Black world" drove her to ever more ardently seek out words that would rupture those boundaries. When she said that the master's tools won't dismantle the master's house, she was referring to the inadequacy of existing language to disrupt this boundary-making.
So, new words and tools — a new vocabulary — must be forged to chip away at these walls. The title of Lorde's "Sister Outsider," Gilbert and Gubar write, reflects "her commitment to the sisterhood of the women's movement as well as her insistence on positioning herself as an outsider questioning its boundaries."
Still Mad also reveals the way in which activist anger was and is a part of the personal lives of these writers. Lorde, for one, from her position as a poet writing from the underpaid trenches, excoriated the economic injustices that her fellow academics were perhaps sheltered from.
Another especially compelling part of the book focuses on Andrea Dworkin and the sex wars. Few have written about the anti-pornography crusader, whom Gloria Steinem called "an Old Testament prophet." Gilbert and Gubar capture the separatist movement that Dworkin is credited with starting — one that viewed men's values as opposed to women's and which created female-only spaces such as rural communes called "womyn's lands."
Still Mad explains the strategy behind Dworkin's anti-pornography polemics: namely, to legally codify pornography as a civil-rights violation. Regardless of one's opinion on sex work, there is little doubt that Dworkin was an effective, passionate advocate for elevating the testimony of women actually involved in the sex trade over that of commentary based on purely abstract or philosophical arguments.
A brilliant inclusion is that of Gloria Anzaldua, whose Borderlands/La Frontera (1987) is among the most seminal feminist/intersectional works (and one too often overlooked). Her "mestiza consciousness" is one of the best descriptions of those living in the borderlands of multiple identities. Because this experience is so unmooring and disorienting, Anzaldua uses both linguistic and spiritual-healing practice as a salve to suture the wounds wrought by white patriarchy. She refuses to "accommodate" English speakers, instead code-switching between slang, English, Spanish, Chicano Spanish, and Tex-Mex to build a creole reflective of this unrest and dispossession.
Still Mad is rich and carefully and creatively curated; it is madly in love with words, which remain some of the best tools we have for dismantling the master's house. The way Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar wield them as weapons of personal and political redemption and healing will leave readers speechless.

Twilight Fan Fiction / Twilight Fan Fiction ❯ I Know My Duty ❯ Feeding ( Chapter 10 )
"It lasted through the morning. He walked silently beside me, never seeming to actually look at me." -- Bella, New Moon
It is Stephanie Meyer who wrote the four and a half Twilight books, but I hope that my fellow fans will enjoy this following chapter.
He'd been here.
A week ago, I would have been sure that it had all been a dream, my imagination or another one of my pathetic hallucinations, but all of my memories of the past five days were sharper than razor wire. Edward had been here in this room. We'd spoken. He'd held me while I'd tried to cry. Felix had nearly ripped one of his arms out of its socket. It seemed callous of me, but this room was more real than Phoenix, Forks, the city that I could hear above me or anywhere else I'd ever been. Not one word, not one hair of him had faded. I could remember every breath he'd taken, the feel of his hand against mine when he'd finally left, the sound the door had made when it had let him out, when it had first let him in, when it had opened that first time and I'd been so sure for just a second that someone had come to let me out, but instead they... they...
Another chunk of my wall crunched away under my fingernails as I blinked, staring into the empty rock. I had to keep my mind off it. I wanted to forget, but I couldn't. I couldn't!
I felt like a tennis ball bouncing back and forth inside a box, never losing its energy. I could think impossibly fast, and there were only two things to think about. I felt like a rat running back and forth in a tiny cage. I felt like a powerful new being locked in a cell.
If I didn't keep my mind off it, I'd fly apart. My mind was racing. I should have felt sick to my stomach. I should have felt my heart pound. My skin should have broken out in a cold sweat. I had the terrible sense that I would never feel any of those things again.
I jammed my eyes shut and concentrated as hard as I could on Renee and Phil's wedding day. The flower girl, Phil's little niece, had stumbled in the aisle and spilled half the rose petals. I'd felt like part of the family already.
Maybe the problem was that I'd been trying to think about pleasant things. Maybe that was why it didn't work. So far, I'd followed Edward's advice and played my human memories over and over in my mind. The clean light in Phoenix, the green dampness in Forks. Gran. My childhood. Renee and Charlie. Every moment I'd spent with Edward from that first glance across the cafeteria to that horrible, beautiful moment when he'd turned me. Alice. Angela. Hunting motorcycle parts with Jacob. Maybe I had to think about something that would freak me out but only a little, release some of the right kind of energy.
Charlie. Yes, that would do it. By now, Charlie would have come home and find me gone. I counted the days in my head. Way before now, actually.
I forced myself to imagine my dad reading the slapdash note I'd left him. He wouldn't have waited. By now, posters with "HAVE YOU SEEN THIS GIRL?" would be on every telephone pole in Forks, every police station corkboard in the State of Washington. He'd have called every number he knew, all the fake contact numbers and mail forwarding addresses the Cullens might have left behind. He was probably in Los Angeles now, trying to brother or bully some poor, unsuspecting member of the LAPD into putting out an Amber Alert. Never mind that I was already eighteen.
I pictured him there, in the piercing-bright sun and awful traffic of the sprawl. He wouldn't show it, not there, but I knew his heart would be breaking.
And he would be safe. I finally understood what Edward had meant. As long as he was looking in the wrong place, nowhere near Volterra or vampires, then he would be safe. Maybe one day it would be all right to send him some letter, some story to let him know I was still alive, even if he never saw me again. For now, I'd have to be satisfied that he was safe ... and probably hounding answers out of the only person who could possibly have known where Alice and I were going.
Poor Jacob.
Yep. That did it. If there was anyone who would be more worried about me than Charlie, it would be Jacob. He'd known what was waiting for me here in Italy. He'd have to face not only Charlie but his dad and the rest of his pack. The wolves were supposed to save human lives. Would they blame Jacob for letting me go or would they accept that it had been my choice? Would he blame himself?
What would he do when he saw me again?
He would see me again. Maybe it was wishful thinking. Maybe my weirdly perfect new brain still had enough flaws to let me get a nice, thick denial going, but I felt sure that I would see him again. I was Bella and he was Jacob, and we were supposed to be in each other's lives.
But it was sort of his job to kill vampires who came sniffing around Forks and La Push. And I didn't exactly have a clean record, not since...
—It was easier to pull myself back when I didn't have as far to go. Thinking about Jacob made me feel like a piece of leftover rat leather, but I was calm.
Why hadn't I told him that I really had meant to come back? Why hadn't I told him how much he meant to me? If he hadn't been who he was, I would have let the voice in my mind lead me down a very different path. Like a Will'o'the'Wisp, the shadow Edward haunting my brain would have drawn me out until I was too far gone for anyone to help. There wouldn't have been enough of me left to come to Volterra with Alice, not if we meant to do any good.
Jacob had saved me, and that meant that he'd saved Edward too. And for that, I would never stop loving him. For that, I had to remember, if only so I could make things right if I ever saw him again, if only so I could thank him. And now here he was, drawing me back from the brink all over again, and he wasn't even really here.
The hours passed. Like I was back swimming through the surf beneath the cliffs, I began to pull my way out of my own head. Reality creeped in. Unfortunately, so did boredom. Now that I wasn't freaking out any more, I could really appreciate the fact that I was stuck in a cell with nothing to do. I counted the scratches on the door, trying—successfully this time—not to think about how they'd gotten there. I felt the contrasting textures of the steel and stone that made up my dark little cage. I tried to mentally measure the angles of the steel lattice that covered the room's one light fixture—and then I tried to figure out how they got in there to change the bulb, all interspersed with my now infuriatingly managable worrying about Charlie and Jacob and Edward.
I closed my eyes and listened. My hearing was better now. I knew that I could hear all the way to the city outside, so I tried to focus on separating out the sounds. Was that rushing noise traffic or water in the pipes? I could tell that there were people speaking a few floors away, but I couldn't make out any words. And footsteps... Nothing helped.
Now I felt like a spider stuck under a glass, all quick, needle feet, and nowhere to put them.
Eventually, the sounds changed direction, separating from the distant din of the town. Footsteps. I listened again. Two pairs. All the muscles in my back had gone tense before I realized that I couldn't hear any heartbeats. Vampires, then. I inhaled but smelled nothing but dust and a faint sweetness that was probably just me. I considered getting up, pounding on the door to ask who was there as if I were the intruder. I took a breath, reminded again that it couldn't calm me. Whoever was coming was coming.
"It's me."
He hadn't shouted. With the door in the way, he was soft as a whisper. But his voice went through me like a velvet lightning bolt. I got to my feet and brushed rock flakes off my clothes. What was the etiquette for when your ex-boyfriend-come-vampire-mentor came to visit you in your medieval holding cell? I didn't have time to wonder before the door scraped open, and there he was, the edges of his his medium-gray cloak brushing his ankles as he stepped toward me.
I froze in place.
If I hadn't known that he didn't need to sleep, I'd have thought that he'd been kept awake for days as some kind of torture program. But that wasn't the worst of it. His eyes were hovering somewhere near my hands, and his face was completely blank. I'd seen that look before. I'd seen that look before, back in those horrible days just before he'd left Forks.
He didn't say anything, just reached out with one hand. It took me a minute to realize that he wanted me to take it and come with him somewhere, that that was what the gesture was supposed to mean. It had looked half-done, as if he were only going through the motions. He hadn't even been looking at me.
"Edward," I said carefully, not sure what to say. "How are you?" would never cut it and "Oh my God, tell me you weren't waterboarded" would probably just make things worse.
He breathed in and explained. "They brought us something to eat—" I tried to clench down the memories before they could scatter me again. Even so, his next words were almost lost against the roaring backdrop of my thoughts. "—it's not human. I think it's pigs. They don't taste like much but they'll take the edge off."
I focused on that. It's not human. It's not human. It's not human. I thought of Jacob and Charlie, used them as a stepping stone back to myself. It worked. I nodded and met Edward's eyes. He was staring at me as if I'd just built a suspension bridge out of feathers.
"Edward, what is it?" I asked.
"Nothing," he answered quickly. He held out his hand again. "Come on, you need to eat."
I felt a burning in my throat and realized he was right. I was ravenous. But I'd only felt this hunger once before and that hadn't ended well. I didn't want to... "I don't..."
"I know," he said, in his velvet-rich voice. And even in its coldness it was still so perfect. I closed my eyes. "But once you've eaten, you'll be able to think more clearly," he promised.
I nodded my head. I reached out and took his offered hand, holding onto it like a lifeline as I stepped out of my cell for the first time in my new life.
"We're not alone," he whispered.
"I know," I said. I'd heard two sets of footsteps, and there was a scent on the air that wasn't his.
Demetri was waiting for us in the hallway, lean and menacing. This was the first time I'd been near him since that day in the gathering hall. He was still a wicked hatchet of a man, but I could see his edge more sharply now. This vampire was far, far more dangerous than Felix. His deep red eyes didn't miss a thing.
Edward seemed to be sizing Demetri up, making a decision. It cut me how well I knew him, even now. I waited for him to speak, to tell the other vampire whatever it was that he was preparing in his mind. Instead, he turned away, pointed his eyes toward the end of the hall, and slid his arm around my waist. I nearly jumped out of my skin. It wasn't the gentle embrace I remembered from our meadow near Forks. It wasn't the steady anchor from days earlier. I knew this too. I could practically see him posing stiffly as Charlie took our picture.
He was still going through the motions, making a show of loving me, but why? There was no reason for him to make me think he loved me. I came to a the answer before I'd even fully comprehended the question: The show was not for my benefit. I wasn't his audience. He wasn't trying to convince me. He was trying to convince Demetri. This only left me more confused. What would Demetri care?
We had to talk. We'd had to talk ever since Alice had told me he was on his way to Italy, but now there was another thing to work out. I would tell him that he didn't have to pretend with me. I would demand to know what the hell he thought he was trying to pull.
"Lead the way," Edward was saying to Demetri.
"Oh no," he answered. His voice was richer now too, as layered as Edward's, but menacing instead of soothing. "After you."
I didn't know where we were going, but Edward seemed to. Turning my back on Demetri was like turning my back on a ravening bear. It made my whole spine prickle, and I had to be hurting Edward with the way my hand was clamped on his. I knew I had to distract myself again.
"I've been doing what you said," I told him. "You know, with my memories." I wasn't sure why I'd gone to this. Was I back in third grade? Did I want a gold star? "Edward, I keep ending up back..." I shut my mouth. Great going, Bella. Just great.
"I should have thought of that. I'm sorry," he murmured into the top of my head. He paused, and for a moment the only sound was our matched footfalls against the floor. "Learn Cantonese," he said, "Mandarin too if you can manage it."
I blinked. "Chinese?" I asked. Edward's face was emotionless. This had been a calculated decision, something thought rather than felt.
"You can do it," he said, as if that could possibly be why I was so confused. "I'll bring you the books. You don't need to sleep any more," he reminded me. "You'll have time to study."
"I can try," I said, still skeptical. "But why Chinese?"
Edward paused again, his eyes fixed on something near the end of the hallway.
"Because Aro thinks there will be a war," he told me.
The footfalls behind us stopped. Mine almost did as well, but a microscopic tug from Edward kept me moving. This had been planned, I realized.
"What in hell are you talking about?" Demetri called from behind us.
Edward turned and fixed him with that same indifferent gaze. Beneath his smoothness, he seemed to be appraising something. Demetri's eyes bored into Edward like a chisel into ice.
"China," Edward said, as if that explained everything. "It has a gender gap of about thirty million girls."
I'd read that same thing in the newspapers. Back in Phoenix, Mr. Cummings had mentioned it in history class when we'd gotten to the seventies and China's one-child policy. Because male children were so important, lots of couples had either aborted female fetuses or neglected the girl babies, resulting in a lot more boys than girls. But what did that have to do with war?
"Aro's... seen patterns in history," Edward went on. I looked sideways into his face, the black of his thirst blocking the depth of him from me. I'd been trapped in a cell for the better part of a week, but Edward had been out here. Things had happened to him. What had he seen? "Whenever a society, whether it's a village or an empire, has large numbers of young, unmarried men, the chance of armed conflict goes up. If they're young married men, it doesn't work. Married men are more settled. If the young men are unemployed or unoccupied, war becomes more likely still.
"They're already starting to feel it," Edward explained. "Stories about young men who can't find partners and about young women kidnapped from other parts of the country have been in the Western news for some years now." He shook his head. "This is only the edge. The men who'll face the worst of it are only boys now, but it's working its way upward through their demographics. In fifteen or twenty years, China will have literally millions of young men on its hands."
I let the idea settle into my brain. Mr. Cummings had never gotten into anything like this.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Edward turn his head toward me, just barely. His mouth gave a microscopic twitch, as if he'd been going to bite his lip but then stopped himself. It was strange to me. I'd never thought of Edward as fidgety. Was he truly agitated or had I simply been unable to see these tiny gestures before?
"It's not certain yet," he said. Somehow, I got the impression that he'd said this same thing before, to others or to himself. "It can be avoided, but it would take drastic measures. China will either have to import large numbers of women, export large numbers of men, experience unprecedented economic growth—"
"Or invent a new industry," Demetri finished.
Or find something else for all those people to do, I thought. I pictured monasteries full of monks like in Ben Cheny's martial arts movies. But thirty million men?
That was the first time I truly noticed my new mind at work. I found myself racing through all the different possibilities, almost effortlessly considering the likelihood of each one: A new industry? More like a new industrial revolution. Export men? More like tell them they were being rocketed off to space colonies but really vaporize them on the launch pad. Monastaries? Putting them all in an army did seem like the obvious outcome. But what if this didn't mean that China would invade other countries? What if it meant that different parts of China would go to war against each other? My mind raced again. I didn't know that much about China. In the movies, they always made it seem like a homogenous, unified country, but how could it be? It had a billion people! I knew that Lenin and Stalin had both tried to turn the U.S.S.R. into one unified country—Soviets instead of Russians and Ukranians and Georgians—sometimes using drastic and brutal measures. I also knew that, in the end, it hadn't worked. Surely Mao and his successors had tried something similar. What if it hadn't worked either? Even if no other country became involved directly, China still had trade relationships with almost everyone. A civil war would mean that the U.S. and Japan and France and England would all have to take sides. It would be just like...
I felt cold.
Had Aro just predicted World War Three?
Edward nodded at Demetri. My mental coalescence had gone unnoticed. "So no matter which of these things happens," he said, still not looking at me. "China is going to be important over the next fifteen to thirty years."
"Chinese," I finished quietly. I would learn Chinese. And Italian. And Russian. And Quileute. And anything else that I could. I realized with a pang that I would never go to college. My mother had always impressed on me how important it was to go to college, and now I never would.
Of all the ways to become a high school dropout. Kidnapped by vampires...
Edward's arm was still around my waist. I realized with a start that it was the same one that Felix had nearly ripped off the last time I'd seen him. Almost without meaning to, I took in his pace, his posture. He wasn't carrying himself any differently from usual. It looked as if the injury had never happened.
"Does it hurt?" I asked.
Edward nearly looked at me, confused, then looked away. "Does what hurt?"
"Your arm," I said. I didn't want to say too much out loud about what had happened. I didn't know if Demetri knew.
"No..." he trailed off. "No, it's fine now."
The hallways couldn't really have been that long, but the walk seemed to take forever. Edward didn't look at me once. Finally we stopped outside a wood and metal door. It wasn't anything more or less to look at than any other, but I could hear something inside. Oh there were sounds that I recognized from the movies as being those a pig would make, and there were others that were probably the sounds of hooves on stone, but there was another...
Heartbeats... And not human. He'd promised, so they couldn't be human, could they? My mind ran off ahead of me again. Hot... wet... Good God, I was so thirsty. Would there be enough?
"Three?" I breathed without thinking.
"Six," Edward murmured beside me. It didn't seem at all strange that he knew what I'd been talking about. His eyes were so dark. I felt my own throat throb in sympathy. He had to be dying of it. Even then, though, I couldn't help but hope there would be enough for both of us. Six... Was that a lot?
Edward took a deep breath and held it. I could see the tension in his neck and in the shadows under his eyes. Somethng was bothering him, and it wasn't our food. There were more vampires inside, but I hadn't learned to separate their scents yet. Whoever was in there, it was making Edward extremely tense. Caius? My memories of Caius were agitating enough, but hadn't he said that none of the elders wanted to come near me—and that was something he'd have to explain—until I was safe?
Edward's jaw set. He seemed to decide something. While Demetri waited behind us, he put his hand on the door handle and pulled. The solid wood must have weighted hundreds of pounds, but Edward moved it easily. But I didn't have time to be awed by his strength. There was too much going on inside that room.
There were animals inside, and I could hear the blood pulsing heavily through them, though their scents were perfectly unappetizing. Felix was here, and from the expression on his face he wasn't happy about it. There was also another vampire whom I didn't recognize.
And there was Jane.
Her eyes were a deep red now. Unlike Edward and me, she'd eaten recently. Somehow that made the danger of her seem more more concentrated. Her eyes were fixed on me and she was smiling. That same damned smile.
I could feel my emotions taking over, rising like a sudden hurricane. What she'd done to Edward. What I'd thought she'd been going to do to Alice. I felt my breath come rapidly as Edward shifted his grip to my wrist and pulled me behind him.
"It won't be necessary," he said quickly. "Aro said to tell you to wait another few days."
One fraction of my mind recorded Edward's words, filed them away for some time when I could ask him what he was talking about. The rest of me was watching Jane. Her smile was turned toward Edward now.
"You're lying," she said simply, and every muscle in his body went tense.
The next few seconds blurred together, even for me. Edward's jaw locked open silently as both his knees hit the floor. The feel of his sleeve against my fingers as he trembled and let me go. The smug tightness underneath Jane's eyes as her smile never faltered.
The next thing I knew there was a startled yelp, too high and light to have been mine. I could feel vampire skin under my hands and something was making a noise, an awful crunching, ripping, tearing—
Three pairs of hands jerked me back and I felt pain for the first time since waking up in this house of monsters. I struggled, kicking my feet. I had to finish! Why wouldn't they let me go?
"It's all right," someone was whispering, but it wasn't. The voice was too cold, too empty. That voice had given me nightmares like nothing else in the world.
Jane hissed. I hissed back. She wouldn't get away from me!
"You'd better go," the cold voice said. Jane snarled again. Edward gave what I swore was an exasperated gasp, his arms still clamped like steel girders around my waist. "You've done what you meant to, haven't you?" he half-shouted.
Jane glowered and took a step toward me. I still couldn't move my arms.
"Don't," Edward warned her. "I will let her go if you attack her, Jane." I snarled. He should have been letting me go now! I felt his grip loosen—though the other two were strong as ever—and I nearly got free as Jane slunk out of the room.
With her gone, the rest of the world started to come back. Edward. Edward but two other people.
Behind my left shoulder, someone chuckled deeply. "You're in for it now, freak," said Felix.
"That's as may be," Edward answered calmly. "But it's not your concern."
Felix laughed again, letting go of my arm. I felt Demetri let go of my right. Edward held on a little longer, but,as I came back to myself, I felt his arms slide back to his sides.
Slowly, I put together what had happened. Jane had used her gift on Edward, and I had completely freaked out, just like I had the week before. Except this time, I'd been able to do something about it. I felt the corner of my mouth tug upward, remembering the look on her face. Jane had not been expecting that.
I looked back at Edward. Somehow he seemed less tense. Was this what he'd been worried about? But for that to be true, he'd have to have—
He'd have to have known, I realized as Edward avoided my eyes. Edward had known what Jane had been going to do. He'd lied to her to get her to stop. But... But he'd know what she'd been going to do and he'd taken me by the hand and brought me here anyway.
Something was cold inside me. The air seemed warm, but inside, I'd gone cold.
"Bella," Edward was saying. "Bella you need to eat."
Did I? My thoat flared. Yes, it seemed like I did.
"I don't..." I couldn't talk right, not now. Not for too many reasons.
"Yes you do," Edward said. "Feeding is natural. Just follow your instincts."
I looked around the room again. Three other vampires were guarding six domestic pigs, all in assorted states of terror from the fight. They'd done what pigs did when they were frightened. I didn't think I'd ever seen—or smelled—anything less appetizing.
It must have shown on my face. "I know," Edward said. "It's not ...ideal, but it will take the edge off."
Felix shook his head. "I can't believe you can eat these stinking things," Felix announced. "You might as well eat this." I looked down to see him shove a pile of filth with his boot.
"Ignore him," Edward whispered, barely moving his lips.
I couldn't. Felix was unignorable. I realized that Felix and Demetri were going to see Edward feed, something he'd never once let me do (not until today, anyway). I'd always gotten the impression that feeding was a private thing, that losing control was supposed to be among friends.
Edward put both hands on my face, stroking my cheekbones gently with his thumbs. I closed my eyes. I couldn't help it. "Don't breathe," he said. "Just listen."
So I did. I could hear the other vampires' soft movements, the distant buzz of Volterra, someone two floors up having a loud conversation about football, and I could hear... Yes, the heartbeats. I focused on them, feeling the venom pool in my mouth.
"That's it," Edward whispered, and I didn't care if he or I or both of us were as cold as Antarctica. My food was hot, and it was right here.
I'd jumped on the nearest animal before a second had passed. The screams of the others echoed in my head as my teeth cut through skin and tendon. The poor thing struggled, but I held on, swallowing and stretching and sucking until there wasn't anything left.
I got to my feet slowly. I felt Edward's hand on my elbow. It wasn't necessary. I wasn't really going to fall, but...
They were staring at us. Suddenly I felt exposed, naked. I'd just done something completely primitive and three strangers had seen. I pressed my lips together and looked away. Edward didn't seem to care. His blank, dead eyes were steered toward me. If he cared that anyone else was there, he didn't show it. "Comes naturally," he said again.
I opened my mouth to ask him—Hell, anything. Why I was still hungry. Whether they were supposed to taste like that, but Felix was chuckling softly behind me, and I couldn't stand the idea of him hearing, knowing any more weakness from me than he already did.
Edward looked away, down to the side, avoiding my eyes as usual.
It was strange to watch Edward feed from so mundane an unpleasant a creature as a pig when he'd told me stories about wild elk and mountain lions. Even so, I couldn't take my eyes away. He was impossibly graceful, striking his prey like a snake as his full lips parted over his teeth. So quickly that I almost missed it, I saw him strike the animal on the back of the head just before he bit down. The creature was so stunned that it hardly struggled. It was probably less painful, less cruel.
I would try it, I resolved, picking another beast from the shrieking, panicking herd. Fingers curling precisely, I lunged. I heard a crunch and felt a sickening softness under the heel of my palm. The pig's legs twitched convulsively as I realized that I'd just shoved my hand halfway into the creature's brain. I clamped my mouth down on its throat in disgust, the feel of blood in my throat banishing all other thoughts from me.
It was as if every physical discomfort, aching muscles, itchy skin, sleepy brain, had been concentrated into one problem: my throat-burning thirst. Quenching it was like getting a back rub, a hot bath and a good night's sleep all in one. It coated my throat, filled my belly, and even if it didn't taste like....
I didn't need Jacob to pull me back this time. The blood in my mouth was too good. It was easy to think of nothing else.
And so we ate. Edward was gracious, telling me that he was content with two, leaving me four to myself. I was too thirsty to protest. I gave up on mercy, just concentrating on feeding without making a worse mess of things than I already had. The last one got an angle on me, jabbing at my chest with its sharp hooves as I pulled the life out of its body and into mine.
I stood up carefully. I felt... I was warm. I didn't just feel warm; I was warm and from the inside all the way to my fingertips, which were—only for now, I was sure—not pale but pink and flushed, almost like real human flesh. I stared at my hands in amazement, turning them over. There was a dull gleam that told me that my skin would still sparkle if I were out in the daylight.
I felt something soft brush my shoulders and flinched away before I realized it was Edward leaning in close, as if to tell me a secret. I noticed with another start that he'd taken off his shirt, his gray cloak still rippling from the motion. He was pink too, I noticed, feeling something that reminded me of a blush in my cheeks. His neck and the smooth planes of his chest were flushed all the way down to where his waist disappeared into his beltline. Before I could ask him what he was doing, he'd slipped the spotless sleeves of his discarded shirt over my wrists and began tugging it into place.
What was going on? It wasn't as if I'd gotten cold. Why was—
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a patch of blue on the floor. My blue. I felt my fingers touch my lips as I realized that I'd lost my blouse while I was feeding. I'd been so caught up in the act that I hadn't heard the cloth tearing or felt the scrape of the stone floor against my sensitive skin.
Edward was naked from the waist up, and I was wearing his clothes... I felt the thought of it ripple through the fading warmth in my veins.
Except we weren't alone. That thought turned stopped the current. I couldn't see Felix from this angle, but the other vampire was watching me with an amused, appreciative gaze. Evidently, he thought this was funny. I tried not to shiver. Better funny than other things.
"I've got it," I said quietly to Edward, taking over the job with the buttons. He drew his hands away from the shirt, just barely, his eyes following my fingers on the cloth. He didn't step back to an ordinary distance, though, not touching me but as close as if he were. I was almost glad that the warmth from our meal was fading. I didn't want these men to see me blushing at the sight of Edward's perfect body.
"How do you feel?" he asked me.
I thought about how to answer. What would seem bland and non-commital to Caius's spies? "Full," I told him at last. But I was still hungry. I was still a little hungry. What did that mean? I needed to ask him, but I couldn't do it here.
His mouth opened a bit and then closed again. "I have to take you back now," he said at last.
I nodded, even though he wasn't really looking at me. "Okay," I said. I was the one who reached for his hand this time. He took it and I saw him nod to Demetri. The hactchet-faced vampire looked back at us. He hadn't missed a thing, I knew, but he wouldn't have wasted his time laughing or sneering. I might have questions, but Demetri would have more. Except Edward wouldn't want to answer his. I shivered. Demetri would make him answer anyway.
We stepped back toward the hallway. I didn't know who was going to clean up the pig bodies and the detritus of their stay, and I didn't care. If I hadn't just had the second worst week of my life just then, I would have hoped that they'd at least get the meat to a homeless shelter or to other people who could use it, but I didn't even know if they had those here in Italy or what they were called if they did.
As we left the room, Edward suddenly turned around and snarled. I twisted my chin over my shoulder just in time to see Felix's fingers twist around a scrap of my ruined shirt. My stomach clenched and I tasted blood in the back of my throat.
"What?" Felix asked of Edward. Then his red, greedy eyes focused on me. "Do you want it back?" he asked, holding out the scrap as if it were a flower in some nineteenth-century romance novel. Edward turned his head and stalked away, drawing me along with him. He didn't have to pull for me to keep up.

Le HMAS Vampire (D11) était le troisième des trois destroyers de classe Daring de construction australienne servant dans la Royal Australian Navy (RAN). Il est l'un des premiers navires entièrement soudés construits en Australie, au chantier naval de l'Île Cockatoo entre 1952 et 1959, et a été mis en service dans le RAN un jour après son achèvement.

Historique
Le destroyer Vampire a été régulièrement déployé en Asie du Sud-Est au cours de sa carrière : il a été attaché à la Réserve stratégique d'Extrême-Orient () à cinq reprises, y compris lors de la confrontation Indonésio-malaisienne, et a escorté le transport de troupes  lors de six des vingt-cinq voyages de transport de ce dernier au Vietnam. En 1977, le destroyer a été chargé d'escorter le yacht royal britannique Britannia lors de la visite de la reine Élisabeth II et du prince Philip en Australie. En 1980, Vampire a été reclassé en tant que navire-école.

Désarmement et préservation
Le navire de guerre est resté en service jusqu'en 1986, date à laquelle il a été mis hors service et présenté au Musée national de la marine de Sydney pour être conservé en tant que navire musée. Il est le plus grand navire appartenant à un musée en exposition en Australie.

En novembre 2015, le navire de guerre a été déplacé vers les pavillons des navires de guerre du Musée maritime national australien aux côtés du , du  et de la réplique du HMS Endeavour.

Elon Musk Announces Grand Plan To Connect Human Brains To Computers
TV Presenter Ant McPartlin Fined £86000 For Drink driving
By Joshua Dare-
Television presenter Ant McPartlin has been fined £86,000 and banned from driving for 20 months.
He pleaded guilty at Wimbledon Magistrates Court on Monday, charged driving over the limit last month. He said:
"I accept full culpability for this and wish to apologise to all those concerned."
McPartlin has been fined £86,000 and banned from driving for 20 months.
Following his arrest, McPartlin cancelled all work commitments for the 'foreseeable' future, including Saturday Night Takeaway and Britain's Got Talent.
The I'm A Celebrity host appeared at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court on Monday, charged with driving over the legal limit.
Confirming his name, date of birth, address and nationality, he spoke only to plead guilty to a single charge of drink-driving.
The charge stated that he had 75 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, the legal limit is 35 microgrammes per 100 millilitres of breath.
McPartlin, who lives in Chiswick, west London, was arrested at around 4 pm on March 18 after a failing a roadside breathalyser test following a collision between the Mini he was driving and two other cars.
Prosecutor Katie Sinnett-Jones told the court the incident happened at around 3.50pm on March 18 on Lower Richmond Road.
She said Mr McPartlin was driving around a "sharp bend and lost control" at which point he ended up on the wrong side of the road. Mr Parlin collided with another Mini Cooper car before driving "straight into the front of an oncoming car".
McPartlin's vehicle "came to a halt and was no longer driveable due to the damage caused," she said. Members of the public called the police.
The court heard from the driver of the mini, that they thought they would die in the collision.
He said, in a statement read by Ms Sinnett-Jones: "Myself and my family were in deep shock as we believed we could have died as a result of Mr McPartlin's reckless driving."
McPartlin's barrister Liam Walker said his client had been seeking help for "alcohol and emotional issues" at the time of the crash, adding that his mother was in the car with him.
He told the district judge the incident was down to "a brief relapse unbeknownst to his passenger".
"Anthony McPartlin is sorry and is doing everything he can to ensure this never happens again," Mr Walker said.
"He hopes that in time he can make himself better and that he might be forgiven by all of the many people he knows and he feels he has let down terribly."
The court heard that in a statement to police McPartlin said: "I am very sorry I did this.
"I am ashamed and mortified that this happened.

But the help file is limited to telling you how to use the program. It's light on advice on how to start or maintain your books, so users looking for more of a helping hand in that area might be better off with Microsoft Money or one of the Quicken products.
With a range of customisable built in reporting options, you can generate a financial statement at the end of the month of at any time you need to know the state of your financial situation.
However, the way that the program attempts to organize things--both accounts and transactions--doesn't always make sense.
Share your documents between your Mac and your PC hassle free. Unlimited Accounts, Categories and Contacts. Logical Account classification by category and type.
Cash Organizer unites all your accounts in one place, watches your budget and reminds you of planned payments. Inesoft Cash Organizer 2008 Premium was designed to be convenient when you are on the move.
The program's easy-to-use interface offers preloaded samples and a wizard-like approach for creating keyboard shortcuts.
I downloaded the trial and it seemed to be what I was looking for, a simple, efficient program to backup to a local drive (no cloud).
Those two had sector incompatibility problems and I had to use SYNCBACK to do my copy (luckily those were not system drives).
Easy to use. Restores when system restore can't! A little bit confusing at first with all the options. But easy to follow online help gets you running it like a p that won't respond to anything elsero in no time.
You may also create a WinPE boot disk, however, that involves downloading the free Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for Windows 7. For $39, ToDo Backup Workstation adds the ability to create system snapshot images, as well as a full WinPE boot disk.
The interface is clearly set out and easy to follow. It does intelligent things like offering likely local drives you might want to back up to and calculating the size of a backup before you choose its destination.
The manual is fine though. Excellent program but I changed to WYSIWYG web builder because it has a thriving and very helpful forum.
Support for Meta tags. Spell checker. Things I dont like: No ability to directly edit code. Doesnt seem to be able to upload files to any other directory other than root of server.
It does seem to have some bugs. I had to rebuild two pages because when I cloned a page I wanted to base the new page on it seemed like it somehow magicly reverted to the old version of the page.
With limited templates, Web Page Maker is average at best and not ideal for inexperienced users. Web Page Maker is decent website creation software that has its strong points, including drag-and-drop functionality and support of scripting languages.
The built-in help section is cumbersome to use and the software has zero eCommerce capabilities. It has the capabilities needed to build a professional website but it isnt ideal for beginner, inexperienced users.
In a matter of days the East Technologies team created a software tool especially conceived to solve just my specific problem.
East-Tec Eraser 2014 is a privacy protection app for Windows that helps secure your personal data, and your offline or online privacy by erasing all files that store evidence of your Internet activities.
They say that you need to preview file in demo first and then not be able to recover to get a refund. This was not stated anywhere in the demo (I could see the file but not play it and then couldn't recover it).
The "recovered" sample online appeared so I purchased the program. Once installed, the program will not work. I get error messages instead.
I was still lacking some so I decided to purchase this software, only I was still unable to get those! I have tried and tried to work with their support but we have gotten NOWHERE.
I tried a couple programs and this is the only one that "claims" that it found most of my files. Although this app cost a lot more than some of the other applications, I went ahead and purchased.
And the preview function make the waiting time more pleased by previewing. Limitation as only convert for iPod. After all, it is named for iPod converter but as we know iPod's video and audio formats also suitable for iPad as well as iPhone.
It's a convenient program. It saved me a lot of time, for its converting videos speed is so fast.I can enjoy my favorite movies on my iPod when I'm waiting on airport or in my car.
These aren't particularly thorough, but they are at least fast, completing in just a few seconds on our test system.
This software doesn't come with any spyware / adware bundled with it, and it's compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. This installation is just the demo version of the program.
For example, you can no longer search across diary entries in the free version or export. Since paid version is too pricey for me, I have to look around and find something else or go back to an earlier version (assuming I saved the install files or can find them at one of the reliable old version or freeware sites).
There is a Recycle Bin in the software so you do not need to worry that you may delete a diary entry by mistake. It also provides various unique features such as you can specify a weather icon and an emotion icon for each diary entry, can specify importance for diary entries, and can Copy and paste diary entries, etc.
The templates and objects are many and sufficient for most needs. I like this better then Visio. The drawings (files) are in tabs (on top) while the pages are in tabs below.
Edraw Flowchart works well with other text and spreadsheet based editors allowing you to insert any graphical or mathematical elements to your project.
finally I need to uninstall them but can't the system processes still show 33% all the time and noting happen. I must use "BD2013_Uninstall_Tool.exe" to uninstall them and you still say this program it for everyone.
Very good scores in PCMag's antivirus tests. Great scores in independent lab tests. Excellent phishing protection.
Once this step is completed, users can fill a database with credentials (e.g. online banking, websites, emails) to protect from unauthorized use.
The installation is an 8 step process including steps like a quick scan of the computer to identify malware which might hinder the installation process.
Those that require a functional and easy to use icon editor, but do not need an icon library, will enjoy this product.
With just a few simple mouse clicks, you will be able to repair your registry in no time! For novice users, there is even a feature called 1-Click Registry Cleaning that works flawlessly.
Didn't recover any of my messages Easy to use It didn't work or do what it says it does. I needed to recover deleted messages from a family member.05aS6 I really needed to find a contact that I delete by mistake.Software didn't work or do what it says it does, And I needed to recover deleted messages from a family member.Now finally, I am settled with another similar tool named Dr.Fone for iOS: www.video-converter-mac.org / iphone-data-recovery/ and it lived up to my expectations.
And also include boot time defrag engine. Iobit says this utility is a full version software but its wrong. Boot time defrag not support to full boot time defrag function.
Turning on Automatic Defrag means Smart Defrag will reorganize your drives whenever the system is idle. It's a neat solution, as doing a full defrag can be a lengthy and resource-heavy process.
Moreover, unlike the traditional defrag applications, Smart Defrag can be used during the boot up sequence, thus giving it access to files that are locked once the booting is complete.

A crater on Mars may be a future landing site
Here on Earth, scientists study layers of sediment like dirt and sand to better understand how rocks form. The same contextual clues geologists use to explain how sedimentary rocks form on Earth can also be applied to extraterrestrial planets. Recent studies of Mars, for example, have looked at photos of sedimentary rocks to determine how geologic forces like erosion, wind, and even water have changed through time. The goals of a recent paper were to use surface images to reconstruct the past history of a section of the Martian surface.
This is what sedimentary rock looks like on Earth. Wikimedia Commons.
In order to measure how the water level has changed along the surface, the authors studied images taken from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to see how the rocks change throughout a section of exposed rock. These images focused on rock formations along the Jezero crater on the Martian surface – a site that once had moving water. At some point in the past, water left a valley that entered the crater in the west and exited in the east. Near the western valley, a series of measurements and calculations were made to interpret the flow and the record of sediment being deposited within the crater.
The paper is based on the idea that different environments will deposit different types of structures in the rock record. For example, a river that curves a lot will have deposits on the inside of the curve and areas along the outside of the curve where erosion is much more prevalent due to a faster flow. A faster moving force of water will carve deep V-shapes into previous sediments in what is called an incised valley. Both of these were seen along the Jezero crater and were used by the authors to reconstruct the early conditions along the surface.
The images from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter were studied by the authors using imaging and mathematical analysis. As the authors found more clues across the section of the Jezero crater, they noticed that both the images and mathematical models indicated that the environment and water flow were very similar to river systems here on Earth. Old rivers would meander—twist and turn—into the crater, be abandoned as new channels were created, and empty into a lake toward the crater's center. These geological signatures were repeated in patterns up the sides of the crater wall as the rivers, river channels, and shoreline were formed further away from the center as it filled with water.
How would this have been different on Mars? Mathematical equations used in this study were formulated here on Earth for our gravity, water viscosity, and atmospheric conditions (e.g. air pressure). Mars, while very similar to Earth in many ways, has only one third of the gravity. These questions will go unanswered until we can analyze the rock formations and their chemistry directly – by going to Mars.
Why is this line of research important for planetary science? Why stare at the rocks of other planets from space? First of all, the presence of structures and rocks along with water means that early Mars had water on it! Also, scientists now think it was much more active than previously thought. Moreover, any future crewed missions to Mars will need to know where possible sources of water—past or present—are located.
One of the best places to find fossils here on Earth is in or near "paleorivers" or sites of ancient rivers. It stands to reason that understanding where water once was, how it moved, and how long it was in one place might be the key for finding life on other planets! For these reasons, the Jezero crater is a potential target for future Martian landings by NASA in the coming years, and has been the subject of no less than three separate studies since 2012. We are indeed in exciting times—our knowledge of planetary geology is opening many new doors for the future discovery of life in the universe.
